Svchost.exe - k netsvcs process uses 50% CPU at startup of Windows 7 PC

• the process Svchost.exe to netsvcs uses a lot of memory (~ 600 MB) and 100% cpu

  I have windows xp edition sp3 family. I hit the power button to hibernate the pc but I think an automatice update was running.  Pc crashes when windows resumes after hibernation. I forced a re-boot, but now the svchost.exe to netsvcs process uses a lot of RAM and CPU. I have a Dell Dimension 8250 with 1 GB of RAM. Svchost uses > 600 MB of memory and 100% of the CPU unless I have stop the DHCP service. When I stop DHCP the svchost stops using CPU and memory affected slowly decreases to about 150 MB and remains at this level. But without DHCP I do have access to the network.

  After installing SP3 recently I started having some weird problems, as I lost my printer and had to re - install the software. Also noticed that after re-booting and desktop appears completely empty, the screen turns white and the taskbar at the bottom will appear empty for about 30 seconds, then reappears. PC seems to be more slow tha before installing SP3.

  I've tried everything. Nothing stopped the svchost to chew all the memory, virtual memory and time processor. Had to re - install windows xp.

• SVCHOST - svchost.exe - k netsvcs use 90% + CPU usage, slows down the powerful machine for analysis-Whatsup?

  SVChost.exe - k netsvcs paralyzed my machine like no malwaer never. From what I can tell, it's something to do with Windows Update.
  Nothing else unusual is running. There is no malware involved. And all updaes settled except that I can't update .net. I get the following error message:

  "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for versions of .NET 2.0 to 3.5 (KB951847) x 86.

  What can I do? I'm frustrated.

  Thanks for the help! I followed Joel advises above & it SEEMS to have solved the problem. I say SEEMS to, because I've seen the problem apparently solved, only to resume again after a few days. Update Malwarebytes showed no infection, do a scan in depth.
  I'll be back if DIF back... for now, problem solved!

• I have a svchost.exe in the processes that CPU load in WinXP.How to control this?

  Process / task manager has a svchost.exe thatreally slows down and sometimes crashes my computer. Windows XP Media Center Edition with

  SP3. Is there any solution for this?

  It is usually associated with the Services.  One instance of "svchost" can support multiple services.
  The first step is to download and run the "Process Explorer" from Microsoft
     <>http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653 >
  This program is the the Task Manager on steroids (once you try it, you'll never go back to the Task Manager).  Once you start, you should have no trouble to identify which instance of "svchost" consume all your CPU.  When you do this, place your cursor on this "svchost" in the process column.  A pop-up menu lists the services that are currently covered for this instance of svchost.

  New commissioning Services (start-> Run-> "services.msc").  Find running services that correspond to the list that you obtained in the previous step.  A double click on this service will give you a screen that will allow you to Pause or stop this service.  Try to stop the appropriate services until you see your CPU down to normal.  This will determine what service is the consumption of the CPU.  How you handle this from here will depend on what you find.

  (As a side bet, my money is on the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service.)

• Svchost.exe - k netsvcs constantly download

  I work on a XP Home SP3 computer that constantly downloading using system32\svchost.exe - k netsvcs. It will download as long as the computer is connected. Before realizing the problem, downloading 1.4 GB. I use Netbalancer to observe the process. This is a customers computer.
  Things I've tried:

  > Disable automatic updates of windows. The computer has been updated last week.
  > Scan with Malwarebytes, Security Essentials, MFRT, AVG TDDSkiller in windows and safe mode when possible. AVG found 6 google corrupt toolbar.exe in Temp files. Others do nothing are.
  > Deactivate restore system and rescan with AVG, while the computer is connected.
  > The computer has always had Norton AntiVirus installed. It found and removed 1 virus by setup_lib_srf [1] .exe which contained "Downloader" in 2009.
  > Disabled Background Intelligent Transfer service but netsvcs downloads yet and the BITS service back to automatic after a reboot.
  > Ran svchost.exe fix from Microsoft which is for high processor use but thought it might help.
  > The IP remote netsvcs is in contact with belongs to Akamai Technologies when windows automatic updating is disabled. With the updates automatically on other ip addresses belong to Microsoft.

  Hi trg53,

  Your question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public. Please ask your question in the following forum.

• Svchost.exe to 47 to 52% of CPU usage! ;-(

  For some strange reason, I have svchost.exe running at 47 to 52% cpu usage.  It's 6 380 to 6 444 K memory with the standard description of host for Windows process in the Task Manager.  User name is NETWORK SERVICE.  The system idle process is a 36% with 57 to 67% CPU usage.

  ANY ideas what it is?  I thought maybe would it be re-indexing, but it went on-and-on-and-on... ;-(

  I use McAfee AV on my chip 64-bit Vista Ultimate OS and Intel (Dell Inspiron, 500 GB HD, 4 GB of RAM; LED display).  Hard disk no is used, is nearly 80%.

  Last scan was clearly for the AV scan

  TIA

  To check what service to use the CPU in a svchost with Process Explorer:

  • Click on "Show details for all processes" in the menu "file".
  • Make a right-click the svchost that you are interested in
  • Click 'properties '.
  • Click on the tab 'son '.

  Doing this causes some recent versions of Process Explorer crash on my Vista system but the 15.12 version published yesterday (January 12) seems to be OK.

  The phenomenon of high processor by Dnscache usage has been reported elsewhere, for example,

  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/itprovistanetworking/thread/d2a2ad2d-A406-410C-9B7A-e22104fd2e2e/

  A possible cause is a large number of entries in the hosts file. Some security software (anti-spyware/ad blocking) can use this method to block malicious Web sites. You can reset the hosts on its default file using this fix it.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/972034

  You can also try to flush the DNS cache:

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/74209-DNS-resolver-cache.html

  If it's not the hosts file, try to uninstall McAfee in the case which is in question.

  If you can't find what is the cause, running with disabled dnscache should not cause problems.

• Svchost.exe - k netsvcs constantly download windows 8

  Hello

  I have a problem in the net connection in my laptop. something is using my data if I don't use all the NET data. I saw it in the resource manager, it shows me svchost.exe (netsvcs). This uses my internet data when I connect my dongle. What should I do?

  Hi Benjamin,

  To provide the proper resolution, I would need more information on your side.

  1. do you get an error message when you try to connect to the Internet? If Yes, what is the exact error message?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer before this problem?

  Svchost.exe is a process on the computer that hosts, or contains, other individual services that Windows uses to perform various functions. For example, Windows Defender uses a service that is hosted by a svchost.exe process.

  There may be multiple instances of svchost.exe running on your computer, each instance containing different services. One instance of svchost.exe can host a single service for a program, and another instance can host several services related to Windows.

  To use the Manager tasks to display services running under each instance of svchost.exe.

  a. open the Manager of the tasks in the right-by clicking on the bar of tasks, click task Manager.

  b. click on process tab.

  c. click Show processes from all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  d. right-click on an instance of svchost.exeand then click go to service (s). Services associated with the process are highlighted on the tab Services.

  Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further

  It's a non-issue.  Explorer is continually questioning the key in order to maintain the status of the network connection in the up-to-date notification area or warn you if you lose network connectivity.  If you want the query to stop then go into your properties of the network adapter and disable the "Show icon in notification area when connected" and the "notify me when this connection is limited or no conectivity.

• Random processes using 50% CPU (dll files)

  Random process (svchost.exe, taskhost.exe, taskmgr.exe procexp.exe - Process explorer, chrome.exe, skype.exe and so forth) always use 50% CPU, but only one of them will do both. If I stop the process that takes too much CPU usage, after 5 seconds, another process starts using 50% CPU again. I used Process Explorer to check the problem, and I found that the process still using 50% CPU has api-ms-win - returned-* dll running (from 4 to 9 of the dll). No other process has them. After that I started to close the processes one by one and always monitor the dll, and it seems that after I stop a CPU consuming processes, after a few seconds another process loads the api-ms-win - returned - all * dll and start again using too much CPU. I don't know if the CPU usage is relevant to these DLLs, so I came here to help.
  I tried to reinstall windows, use 2 anti virus to find something and neither things solved the problem.

  At it remove it (or quarantine it)?  If she keeps reappearing you are still infected and may have to start a new thread in the virus & malware to help with its removal

  I have a problem with the svchost. Whenever I have to connect to internet the svchost.exe always exhausted my CPU at 100% and causing slowness on my laptop.
  How to solve this problem?

  Thank you all for breakfast and information.

  Have tried all the methods above, but the problem remains.
  Sure some kind of virus, spyware, adware or Trojan programs can hide behind the svchost.exe process.

• Touchpad causing excessive use of CPU on Vostro 3558 (Windows 10)

  Hello.

  I am therefore unable to use Windows 10 because using the touchpad causes the process "System and compressed memory" to use more than 30% of CPU.

  I made a GIF showing what I mean:

  As soon as I start to scroll and move the pointer this process ("Sistema y memoria compartida" in Spanish, but it's the same, ntoskrnl.exe) raises my CPU usage, as you can see.

  I tried a lot of things, but I always have to go back to Windows 7 or Windows 8.

  -J' uses latest Touchpad drivers from the site Web of Vostro 3558.

  -J' tried 19.0.9.4 old synaptic drivers for Vostro 3558 by www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

  -J' lastest synaptics.com generic drivers, tried both SMBus and IC2 versions, but they do not work at all (I even manually installed them in Device Manager).

  -This has happened the upgrade of Windows 8 to 10 of Windows and installs also in fresh Win10.

  Without drivers from dell (using default microsoft HID Driver and synaptics.com), I get no problems of use of CPU, but none of the gestures of course.

  I ask for help because I don't want to stay in Win7/Win8, and it drives me crazy.

  I fixed it messing with Vostro 3559 touchpad driver and driver Lenovo Yoga 3 1370.

  IN FACT, WINDOWS 8.1 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, I HAVE NOT TRIED WINDOWS 10.

  THE STEPS I DID TO FIX IN WINDOWS 8.1;

  1. install the VOSTRO 3559 Windows 7 touchpad drivers:

  

  2. open Device Manager, open the section "Mice and other pointing devices" and right click on "Dell Touchpad" (it should be named only after having installed the drivers Vostro 3559). Select "Update driver software".

  3. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer"

  4. uncheck the "Show compatible hardware", go to "Synaptics" and select "Touchpad"

  

  5. now if you check your device manager there is NO HIGH CPU USE, BUT TOUCHPAD IS LAG like *, as on some XPS models.

  Now, why I did everything above? Because I can not install directly Lenovo Touchpad drivers without installing the first software of Vostro 3559. Synaptics software simply does not therefore not gestures.

  6. DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE WINDOWS 8.1 LENOVO YOGA TOUCHPAD DRIVERS 3

  

  Direct link:

  7. OPEN the DEVICE MANAGER AGAIN AND THE SAME THING, BUT THIS TIME WE will USE "LENOVO POINTING DEVICE" rather than "TOUCHPAD" OR "DELL TOUCHPAD"

  8. YOU're not in MEASUREMENT OF CLICK NOW AS a RESULT OF SWITCHING THE DRIVER, so YOU WILL NEED AN EXTERNAL MOUSE, OPEN TASK MANAGER AND CLOSE ALL SYNAPTICS and PROCESS RELATED of TOUCHPAD.

  9. GO TO C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP AND OPEN SYNTPENH. EXE

  
  

  10. HERE, YOU HAVE A JOB ENTIRELY TOUCHPAD WITHOUT MAKING YOUR CRAZY CPU

  You don't need to do anything at the next start of Windows, it is already fixed.

  REFERENCE DELL FIX YOUR DRIVERS.

• Iexplore.exe - USE HIGH CPU - 50% (dual processor) - Windows Vista Home Premium

  Help, please!

  My HP dv9000 is slow.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT INFO YOU NEED ME!  In the Task Manager, under the terms of 'process', it indicates that there are FOUR INSTANCES of internet explorer running, but I only have one window open (with a tab).  I hear my hard drive constantly running and it drives me crazy (and make me cry for my poor computer).  The 4 iexplore.exe (IE8) use respectively 110 000 - 82 300-78 000 - and 8000 K.  Is this normal?

  I don't know if we are more concerned by the "CPU" column or in the column "memory (private beach).  In the CPU column, HP Digital Imaging Monitor uses 50.  Is this normal?

  Please, I just want my computer to be able to relax.  I'm afraid it's going to explode (not literally, but that's what it looks like!).

  Thank you
